Re: CCS83 REQUIRED
I think the Resource Grade 5.3-1(h) see also 5.3-2(d) is good enough for the GIS data, no need to get carried away let's satisfy the requirement as efficiently as possible. We always used to give coordinates on two points (opposite ends of map) to the nearest foot; ought to be good enough for the ambulance to find the house. One could likely achieve that closure with a well placed smartphone or geo-enabled data collector

Re: CCS83 REQUIRED
Often, not always, gps is the least accurate and least efficient way to do a boundary survey.
Ignoring PRC 8816 is not protecting the public if it adds ($0.01) to the project.
Neither is helping the local agency rubbersheet.
If you can give me everything I need to comply with this ordinance along with PRC 8813 et. al. in an hour or two,

Re: CCS83 REQUIRED
is there collaboration between County Assessor (GIS) and the private survey community w.r.t. "the Plan?"Are there any private companies selling access to their databases? Regional orgs?

“A lot of you cared, just not enough”, Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher
The recent discussion points:
1. “GIS is a fact of life…we are better off embracing it”. They should start their own group, have conferences, certifications, churn $1.1b+ annually and name it something catchy, like, Esri? The horse has left the barn.
2. The destruction of monuments with little consequence for the agency staff from BPELSG enforcement staff, simply a “keep your nose clean, do better next time”, case closed. The surveyor takes the time to file the complaint, the board enforcement unit washes it and the surveyor is ostracized, now repeat until thoroughly demoralized. Pyrrtic victory, at best.
3. Tying subdivision maps to CCS 83. Amazing. I am left to wonder which county decided in 2017 it was time to explore these newfangled coordinate thingumajigs? I would have bet, apparently and lost, this had been completed statewide well over 20 years ago. I am out of touch.
4. Side note, over the weekend I read a surveyor’s resume in which he proudly “introduced” to the hiring firms (plural is correct here) to fast-static GPS. In 2015-16?! I confirmed the firms had GPS prior to his employment. I wonder, is it really a complete RTK/RTN/OPUS hack world? I am no longer seeing the chasm between licensed surveying and a…contractor? tradesman? my neighbor?
For a brief moment, I was expecting to read the Governor from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, has won the election and Nirvana’s seminal album Nevermind has been released, each circa 1993.
I write this with complete sincerity, I enjoyed reflecting back to yesteryear, thank you.
Not to be critical of the gift, but a nice crescendo – think the pianos at the end of A Day in the Life – would have been to hear the crier proclaim “continuing education! We need continuing education!” Harkening back to 1970 when it was first written in the CalSurveyor and the succession of past president’s state agendas for the next 40 years, to no avail. For what it's worth, Moses and Aaron spent less time wandering the wilderness eating quail and manna.
Appreciatively,
